Description

Ambassador Chas Freeman discusses the desperation in Europe as the security architecture disintegrates. Ambassador Freeman is a former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense (1993-94), earning the highest public service awards of the Department of Defense for his roles in designing a NATO-centered post-Cold War European security system and in reestablishing defense and military relations with China. He served as U. S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia (during operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm). He was Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs during the historic U.S. mediation of Namibian independence from South Africa and Cuban troop withdrawal from Angola.

The politicians in the West view their populations as tax slaves. They don't care about us, they just need the money we generate as they destroy the world. Ambassador Freeman is very wise. Thank you.

Glenn's programs have risen steadily in the rank of geopolitical programs I value. I await them and gravitate to them. You're doing it right, Glenn, and your numbers reflect that.

The reason EU politicians are relentlessly pursuing Project Ukraine is related to the same reason none of their electorates are interested in said policy. Obviously, the political leaders do not care at all, about their electorates. This is perfectly clear. Mertz doesn't care about the German people, Macron doesn't care about the French people, Starmer doesn't care about the British people, and you can go down the list and it's the same story for every single EU politician who is pursuing Project Ukraine. So who do those politicians care about? It's obvious. They care about the people who have sponsored their political careers. These are the people whose orders they are following. These are the people who are going to destroy them if they don't follow the orders, and these are the people who will see them into a comfortable retirement if they do follow those orders. And who are those people who are giving them the orders? Again, it's obvious. It's the global banker class. It's the people who have billions invested in Ukraine. It's the people who employed Mertz and Macron before they entered politics. It's the people who picked Starmer from obscurity and elevated him to leadership of the Labour Party. And who was that? Tony Blair, of course. Mr City (of London), as Blair is otherwise known. Stop being so naive Glenn. You're a good man, but start thinking critically about the power centres that run the world.

NATO should have been dissolved at the same time as the Warsaw Pact. Therein lies the root of all the current failures in Europe.

Horrible crazy and evil times. All seems ruined and lost. Going to hell. So few good wise leaders. And the masses are sheeples.

There is no "getting back on track" for the EU. They have shown themselves to be inept, corrupt war mongers.

Thanks for this excellent and thoughtful interview. It's tragic what's happening with the warmongering and antidemocratic actions of Europe's leaders. Praying that we all get to a more sane place.
